Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by trained professionals following proper protocols. At Smilehaus Newmarket, patient safety is our top priority, and we take extensive precautions to ensure every sedation experience is both comfortable and secure.
Our Sedation Safety Protocols
Before recommending sedation, we thoroughly review your complete medical history, current medications, and health conditions that might affect sedation safety. This careful screening helps us determine which sedation option is safest and most appropriate for your specific situation.
Sedation Training and Credentials
Our dentists who provide sedation have received extensive specialized training in sedation techniques, patient monitoring, and emergency management. Dr. Joo is specifically trained and licensed to administer IV sedation safely in our office.
Sedation Levels and Safety Considerations
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is the mildest form of sedation with an excellent safety record. The effects wear off within minutes, and you can drive yourself home.
IV sedation requires more careful monitoring and someone to drive you home, but remains very safe under proper supervision.
Serious complications from dental sedation are extremely rare, especially when proper screening, monitoring, and trained professionals are involved.
